2. Dr. Pepper
The flavor of this carbonated soft drink has captivated the taste buds of Americans for generations. It has a distinctive taste that makes it unique and different from other sodas. The 23 flavors surely helped it become what it is today. Hints of cherry, coke, and other spices make this drink a one-of-a-kind experience that most people enjoy. That’s how Dr. Pepper became so popular in the USA.
Now, if we take a quick look at a 20-fl oz bottle of Dr. Pepper, we will see the following nutritional values: 240 calories and 66 g carbs (0 g fiber, 65 g sugar).
The name of this drink can be a little bit confusing. Why Dr. Pepper? Was it made by a doctor? Judging by the amount of sucrose in this soda, we would definitely say no!

So are you saying products not on the list are good? The lack of Coke products makes me think they sponsored the article.
I was thinking the same thing! I use coke to clean my toilet!
Please don’t invite me over to your next party.
I use Coke to clean the acid build up on the cables that connect to my car battery. That way I don’t have to worry about my car battery going dead!!!
And it’s great for boiling rust off metal parts. Ugh just think what it does to the lining of the stomach😩
Dr. Pepper.
Also why no discussion of the difference between sugar and high fructose corn syrup!
Indeed. Why not mention of the worst ingredient; high fructose corn syrup! It’s also the main ingredient in all sodas, including coke products, with few exceptions.
And if sugar is the culprit, what about diet sodas? You only focused on the calories and sugar which diet soda has none of.
Diet sodas often get their sweetness from dubious artificial sweeteners. As far as I know the evidence is not conclusive but it points in the direction that some of these artificial sweeteners may contribute to developing cancer.
But I always hear “diet” soft drinks are worse than regular soft drinks. It would have been nice if they would have told us what to substitute .
What about sweeteners? Aspartame for example.
was there any sodium in these sodas?
Not useful in the least
well they say if it tastes good throw it away and eat the wrapper same thing with drinks life is short enough we have to enjoy something
I saw the comments and while I don’t drink any sodas I did check cokes ingredients online and it has almost half the amount of sugar so it would be a better choice. It still has 29g carbs and 29g sugar!!!
Great, I’m so relieved I can drink Coke now as if there’s no tomorrow!! Thanks, I knew it Pepsi was the one to blame!!!
Someone please invent a soda that is good for you.
Try Young Living product called Zyng. 8.28 oz. can.
Has some sugar, some stevia; 35 calories. No HFCS. No caffeine. Has various fruit juices.
Just had a can. I don’t believe any soda is perfectly healthy, but I think this one is one of the least harmful.
One thing about factory manufactured soft drinks is that they are all given scientific anaalysis for integrity whereas much of the ‘water’ Americans drink is filled with unacceptable levels of contaminates.
This person knows very little, or they’re covering up the high fructose corn syrup facts. It’s the worst part of any soda.
I thought Diet Pepsi was very refreshing when I worked a very hot job. But, I grew up seeing Dr Pepper commercials all over, and their motto was, “10, 2, and 4. I assume that’s when they think you need to take a break and enjoy one.
A 10-oz bottle of ‘Dr Pepper with a package of Planter’s salted peanuts dumped into it, was the perfect grammar school recess snack.
Sorry, not buying that I should stop my Dr Pepper 7 oz poured over ice at 10 and 2. It’s my guilty pleasure.
Really need to have a health tax on this poison.
My grandmother in law drank a Pepsi everyday her entire adult life and lived to be 93. I’ve seen heathy people die in their 20 from disease so do some more faulty research that leaves certain companies out
I drink water most of the time. As far as I’m concerned soda, fake sugar and hi fructose is a bad thing. But what about the sugar in fruits? Juice is no good for you either really. The American diet is why there is so much obesity. Yet the price for healthier alternatives is astronomical. Just an observation.
